The kind of Wish criticisms that annoy the hell out of me are the ones where people unnecessarily compare the film to other movies released at the same time and even Disney's older works. There's nothing wrong with comparisons as a "what to do, what not to do example", the issue I have is that these are often be hella biased.

I like the classical and renaissance Disney movies but I would be lying my ass off saying they don't have problems (the racism, characters of color being played by white actors, outdated stereotypes and gender roles). Some people dismiss these issues because they prioritize on their own nostalgia more than improving them. Hell, they say Snow White was the worst princess but when Disney announces a live action remake, they defend her largely because a mixed race latina actress as casted to play her.

Some of these comparisons can be nonsensical if one were to pay attention. They say Trolls 3's villain song is better, even though Mount Rageous a pop cover mashup while This is the Thanks I Get?! is an original in a poo style. They say Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is a better movie about wishes even though TLW's theme is about appreciating life and the family and friends you have while Wish's themes is about encouraging and supporting each others to pursue their dreams. They use Bruce Almighty as a comparable movie yet they let Bruce off the hook despite he misused of his powers out kf laziness and causing the town into brief chaos before fixing it while they villainize Asha for Magnifico's own actions and the non existent "consequences" of returning people their wishes as if Magnifico allowed the non existent "bad wishes" to be in his hoard in the first place (he deemed Sabino's wish as bad because he didn't like knowing people other than him getting attention and he flat out spites Asha and Sabino during the ceremony).

THIS!!! Here’s an example (I probably used it before but it really fits now): some people are like “why have the forbidden book in the first place? It makes no sense the writing for this movie is so bad” well where the hell did the beast get the enchanted mirror?? How does the evil queen have a talking mirror in her castle and no one questions it? Where did the genie’s lamp come from? In frozen we just had to believe elsa was born with ice magic for no reason (they invented lore for the sequel but it wasn’t planned. They were gonna leave it with no explication hadn’t been for the incredible success). Theses are NOT plot holes; they’re just things you’re supposed to not ask questions about in a fairytale. It’s literally not that deep. Or better, you CAN ask questions and maybe imagine scenarios, but a movie isn’t inherently bad for not explaining it all to you. We’re not required to know how the queen got the mirror, or how magnifico got the book. It’s not “bad writing”; you’re just evaluating a disney fairytale movie through average mcu youtuber’s lens (everything needs to be addressed, otherwise it’s poorly written and “it makes no sense” (so what? Does a singing lion and warthog make sense in the first place?)).

Not to talk about the other problems you’ve mentioned; the stereotypes, the gender roles… as much as we love them, ANY movie has its issues. Many things wish gets blamed for, I can find them in other movies too. And actually, some of them aren’t even bad things, or at least they weren’t until wish did it. I’ve seen someone go “asha’s friends are just for the sake of diversity🙄” but like… is that a bad thing? Big hero 6 members were diverse too. Gee, winx are 20 years old and they’re all diverse. How am I supposed to take that criticism seriously? “They’re just forcing diversity on kids” my man I’ll tell you something. Remember when pocahontas (with all its issues) had a whole song about painting with the colors of the wind. Well I know this is shocking news to you but. It wasn’t actually the wind. She was talking about skin colors. The song was about racism. It’s from the 90s.

And the songs comparisons oh my. “Good to be king from journey to bethlehem is a way better villain song than this is the thanks I get” yeah, this is 100% relevant! It totally makes sense to draw a comparison between the guy who killed infants because he was not sure about which one was Jesus, and king magnifico from wish! I’m so surprised king herod’s song sounds so ominous! I’m sure ALL of these people have the journey to bethlehem soundtrack on their playlists and sing the songs out loud because they are SO much better!!❤️

Don’t get me started about the snow white drama, you are absolutely right, people get mad over something they couldn’t care less seconds ago (just like they did for ariel and tinker bell lmao). They’ve been shitting on snow white for years, there’s been ENDLESS youtube parodies and essays about disney princesses and especially snow white being “weak”, “a bad example for girls because she makes chores and settles for a man” and other bullshit but! As soon as the actress playing her (who happens to be not white) says the exact same thing, everyone is like “oh my goddd!!! Disrespect for our snow white!!! A woman can have love dreams!!! Walt disney is turning in his grave!!!” Like wow bro. You suddenly care now. You are so coherent and definitely not racist👍🏻

Astor Rhymemaster is a lyricist youtuber that breaks down why Wish songs are uniquely bad from a production standpoint to a story standpoint. Yes they bash the movie a lot, but at least you can't say they haven't watched the movie and they don't have the expertise to analyze and explain why this stuff was bad

In fact, I specified: I have beef with people who have not seen it and copy-paste hate comments online just to look cool. 8/10 people fall into this category. The other 2 are people who know their job, alright. Btw I still think a person should be free to like a song even if a youtuber/producer said it’s bad?

https://youtu.be/HJOSBiPMQoE?si=mVMoNpE5iHmBxEqD here's a YouTube video breaking down why This is the Thanks I Get sounds uniquely bad and forgettable

I let you live here for free and I don't even charge you rent I clean up all your messes and I'm always there when you need to vent I give and give and give and give you'd think they'd all be content and all I really want is just a little respect and this is the thanks I get? dadadadadadadadada and this is the thanks I get? dadadadadadadadada

I watched all the Disney movies my guy. Wish is just bad from a story and animation standpoint. In terms of Pixar movies the Elementals movie looked ugly, but even I can say there was effort put into the story

I genuinely don’t know what you’re expecting from me by sending this ask. I like wish, you don’t. You send me an ask saying “wish is just bad”. What am I supposed to say?😂 K, fine, idk. I’m not trying to force anyone to like a movie they don’t like. At the same time, I don’t see the problem with people liking something that I, personally, think is bad.

In my previous posts I wasn’t trying to suggest wish is a misunderstood masterpiece, I just expressed my sickness for people making insufferable tragedies out of it, like wish is the worst thing to ever happen to animation or disney (I specified it). What bothers me is unnecessary, copy-pasted hate. Doesn’t even have to do with wish, just in general. You watched every disney movie in existence? Okay, do you genuinely believe the fox and the hound 2 is a better movie than wish? If so, fine, you stood your ground I guess?

(Don’t know why you brought elemental up, it looked completely fine to me, the animation was as good as usual, per Pixar. Don’t see where the “ugliness” is, compared to other movies.)

Harrison Ford hating playing Han Solo made him better at playing Han Solo because Han Solo did not want to be there doing those things either.

The worst insult art can receive is not bitter criticism but yawning apathy. In this way, Disney has made a lot far terrible movies than Wish.

Well, yes! Criticism is VALID, movies are MEANT to be discussed, but there’s a line between criticism and hating for the sake of hating. Wish is not a masterpiece for its originality, but there’s no way you can put it among disney’s worsts, otherwise you just didn’t watch many disney movies. Same for its songs. You can’t possibly tell me this is the thanks I get is one of the worst disney songs (because of that ONE freaking line that is. redundant. that’s its deadly sin) when the hunchback of notre dame ii soundtrack exists. Seriously. Do people even know about the disney catalogue

Also you know what anon. I just realized. I will give you the benefit of doubt and assume you did NOT just disrespected THE Spice Girls. No disrespect to them in this house. Chicken little was totally right in putting them on the soundtrack

Buddy.....half of Chicken Little songs were literally just......actual bands and songs. Like it's Spice Girls shit. Anyways here's an analysis that goes into it https://youtu.be/7E2SJp1XmTc?si=Yp-d2jdKvuJLD_Si

Ok? The other half were original songs made for the movie tho? Your point? And. I think you sent a broken link

#very very important #don’t take this too seriously anon i just felt like adding this #spice girls #chicken little #disney

DAMN! can people leave you alone? why is they????

It’s cool I don’t mind explaining my reasons😂 I’m open to debate lol

Regarding your answer from that last ask, the songs from Meet The Robinsons are bangers, as well as the whole movie in general, I don’t know why you’re putting it like it’s a bad movie when it’s considered one of the best ones from the experimental era

Yeah I love the movie too, but let’s be honest it’s literally one of the most obscure disney movies… disney doesn’t even do merch with it… I’d argue it’s even less popular than wish (yes it has its niche but the large audience doesn’t even knows it exists come on).

I wasn’t talking about movies being bad, I was referring to people framing wish songs as the worst disney songs ever when I’d like to ask these people “so do you wholeheartedly sing the chicken little soundtrack out loud? Do you consider the bolt soundtrack a masterpiece?”

Again, not that these movies/songs are BAD, but I’d have a hard time arguing that they are a 10/10 and wish’s are a 0/10 in comparison. “Little wonders” is my jam but is it in most disney playlists?

writers and artists will go "this isn't good enough." my brother in christ, you're creating something new out of nothing and expressing yourself creatively. your productivity and unrealistic standards of perfection do not define you or the worth of your art. you're doing great.

These professional musicians that enjoy analyzing songs telling you Wish's songs are bad are not going to kill you guys be for real.

Stop belittling the fact this is a kids movie, as though they don't have orchestras for these

How many of them are professional musicians unbiasedly analyzing songs because they enjoy it and studied music so they know music theory VS how many of them are people who don’t know anything about music and are jumping on another bandwagon.

I’m sorry if I said something bad about a post or review that fell into the first category, but it’s getting harder for me to give people the benefit of doubt by now. There’s been LOTS of catastrophic, overly dramatic comments, like wish songs are the worst disaster to ever happen to the music and movie industries, because they have the lamest lyrics ever (“I couldn’t sit through the movie and had to stop after 20 minutes because of the songs being too stupid / I had to skip the songs because they were hurting my ears” ????????????) and stuff AND THEN, they almost always argument with that one specific line from this is the thanks I get but like. Have you listened to the rest of the song? lol. Of course it’s gonna sound lame when you frame it like this and put the context away. Does “I’m especially good at expectorating” sound like a lyric from an oscar winner movie and EGOT winner composer? Idk, it’s very easy for me to think “ok, this person hasn’t even seen the movie and doesn’t know what they’re hating on, they’re just copy-pasting some other hate comment”.

Also, I’m sorry but I can’t possibly believe wish songs are less popular than songs from bolt, meet the robinsons or chicken little and I’ve never seen anyone “analyzing” why THOSE songs are “bad”. I’m keeping disney sequels out because. Don’t tell me songs from the fox and the hound 2 are better than wish’s

#well ​obviously I like songs from those movies. I’m not a monster #but look me straight in the eye and tell me which songs are better. come on #wish disney #wish songs
